RE: [xsl] apply-template doesn't hit template

Hello,

> 	<xsl:message>template hits</xsl:message>
> 	<!-- This message is never seen -->
> </xsl:template>


watch out the above construct. xsl template doesnt have a select 
attribute...

this should be
<xsl:template match="kcm">
	<xsl:message>template hits</xsl:message>
	<!-- This message is never seen -->
</xsl:template>

( I can imagine you kicking yourself )

I havent seen rest of your code. See if this works...
